I will try doing that but the only reason why i am using cygwin is because it provides the "Make" utility. I cant seem to find the binary files for GNU make, which is why i cant run the make command from cmd.exe.

The other issue is that PPM has really old version of the packages. Like i just checked and it has SOAP::Lite 0.55 whereas now 0.70 is even available and same is the thing with SOAP::WSDL. Is there any way i can another repository?

That will add the trouchelle.com repository, which has SOAP-Lite 0.69 and SOAP::WSDL 1.26.

Thank you so much for your reply. I did add the repository and when i used the GUI for PPM i verified that the repository was added but when i search for the perl module it still shows version 0.55 for SOAP::Lite and for SOAP::WSDL it shows 1.23 i went further to check the website manually and verified that it does have the latest packages. I tried to manually install the packages but it gives the following errors:


C:\SoapTest>ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/SOAP-Lite.ppd
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide Crypt-SSLeay f
+or SOAP-Li
te

C:\SoapTest>ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/SOAP-WSDL.ppd
ppm install failed: No PPD found at http://trouchelle.com/ppm/SOAP-WSD
+L.ppd

Secondly, using the older packages that i was able to get from before i am getting another error. Initially it complained about using the <import> tag for XML Schema definition, which was a problem i knew as SOAP::WSDL doesnt support XML Schema definition imports. I fixed that by inlining the schema and now when i run the script it gives the following error:

C:\SoapTest>perl perlMonk.pl
Reference found where even-sized list expected at C:/Perl/site/lib/SOA
+P/WSDL.pm
line 235.
SampleTest Error: The message with Action 'http://tempuri.org/#SampleT

I am thinking maybe it has to do with my App.config file and the settings i use there. Would you be able to guide me on this? Lastly, can you suggest a tool that i can use to view the expected SOAP request that my WCF web service expects, the actual request sent from my perl script and the response sent from the web service. I have tried Microsoft's Service Trace Viewer but it doesnt provide all the info. Maybe a tool like NetMon would allow me to view the network traffic or something else that you can suggest.

Thanks
